    I've been using a lot of Inner Strength and Head On at the moment.

    Edit: I forgot to mention Poised :P

    @Killmaster I'm with you all the way.

    We're Gonna Live Forever makes survivor worth playing.

    for me its Balanced Landing. as a Person that likes getting chased and getting chased alot anyways, i love it, because it gives me so many more loops that i can use and even without the Sprint Burst, the 75% less stun time you have from falling down is just so nice to have^^

    DAMN, true! Sorry! It's actually really fun to stun a killer who is carrying someone to a hook by just getting out of a locker, add quick and quiet and they're doomed

    Bond. Other survivors are the reason when you get killed so it's better to know where they are if you need to avoid them or if you need some bait

    I'd say Bond or We're Gonna Live Forever. I like to know where fellow survivors are and I like to get some extra bloodpoints.

    Spine chill OP

    Seriously though, it’s so useful. Never have to worry if I’m being snuck up on and I can’t even count how many times it’s helped me get the gate open or unhook someone or cleanse ruin or pop the gen. It’s my favorite.

    To me it’s a very tough toss-up between Decisive Strike and Borrowed Time because I feel they both come in handy frequently. I lean slightly more to Decisive Strike because it’s a good insurance perk for me, and I slightly prefer it to Borrowed Time.

    I always feel free to switch perks, nothing is ever locked.


    Aftercare and We're Gonna Live Forever is always a underrated favorite of mine, it's so funny to also have Killers dodge lockers or try to bait you to jumping out and failing the Head On stun, I love Head On, it works.

    A perk that can save you from a fuckup you made is pretty nutty I must say, especially since it's so versatile can be used for other things as well.

    Only downside being lag dependant and exhaustion add-ons destroys this perk.

    Teammates literally will not stop unhooking me in front of killer, and they never have borrowed time.

    I used to think the idea of kicking the unhooker in the face was just a funny joke, but now I'm really feeling it.

    Iron will.

    Can't stand hearing a survivor moan and grunt. Plus helps in chases.

    Iron Will.

    Me wearing headphones makes me very aware of Injured Survs.

    No Mither can't even counter my bad boy headphone with that 50%.

    WGLF.

    The base mechanics of Survivors are so broken you really dont need perks. If I could equip WGLF in all 4 perk slots, I would.

    Please devs add more WGLF-style perks. Feed me more bloodpoints.

    If not Bond, then Inner Strength, though Bond is really good while with randoms.

    Spinchill. It is the Megablink Nurse of Survivor Perks. Only difference: Its completly broken and the killer wont even notice.

    Bond and Iron Will are a godsend for a solo survivor.

    We're Gonna Farm Forever. If I don't have it on the points I get from a survivor game make it pointless to play (mostly because the survival category is busted and it takes a far larger spread of attention to cap everything as a survivor)


    I also like Bond a lot. Not many people use such an amazing awareness perk

    Bond is a must have for me. I don't think i ever unequipped it on purpose (daily or random perks builts)

    As a solo survivor it gives me so much informations about how the game is going. This perk is so underrated imo. I used to couple it with Iron will but i switched to Ace so i don't need it anymore ^^
